Bio

I am a Senior Research Engineer in the Rendering Department at Wētā FX, working on the Manuka final-frame renderer. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Davis in 2022 working with Prof. John Owens and my B.S. in Computer Science with Minors in Biology and Biomathematics from Trinity University in 2012.

My research interests include computer graphics, programming languages and models, compilers, heterogeneous computing, and general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing. I am especially interested in the intersection of these areas.
